We may have to wait a few more years to see the new iteration of the Avengers, but that’s nothing compared to the anticipation for Marvel’s next generation of superheroes. Fans have been holding out for the arrival of a beloved super-team, the Young Avengers, for what’s felt like ages now. And Marvel certainly isn’t ignorant to that anticipation: Recent Marvel projects have been hard at work introducing prospective members, from Hawkeye’s Kate Bishop to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Eli Bradley. A new attraction on Disney’s latest cruise ship, the Treasure, is even teasing a future team-up between young heroes like Cassie Lang, America Chavez, and Riri Williams. And perhaps most crucially, Ms. Marvel was last seen recruiting members for a new superhero group.
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is clearly ready to introduce the Young Avengers in earnest. There’s just one problem: not all of those aforementioned heroes belong on the Young Avengers team.
